Pescara model 3 helicopter seen in La guerre des as.
Raúl Pateras Pescara de Castelluccio (1890 – 1966) was an engineer and inventor from Argentina. Pescara is credited for being one of the first people to successfully utilize cyclic pitch, as well as pioneering the use of autorotation for the safe landing of a damaged helicopter. Pescara also set a world record (at the time) in 1924 for achieving a speed of 8 miles per hour (13 km/h) in a helicopter.
The model three was the first example to use control mechanisms as modern helicopters.
This page lists all films that feature a helicopter designed by Pescara.
